UNTITLED
midst that mossiness I on elm-tree from elm-tree aforesaid
Pictures of my sonic Manzano
Gone around, explicated pass, as material land grant
nearer 2 bulks of
3, of cottonwood treaty
In revulsion to you / suddenly-in-front-of
UNTITLED
They from labor elegance
A mock more immediate bitter knowledge or
burden of household autonomy gone out,
become almost real
Baptized to them too, but are drawn
attendant developing conversion
As all sensitive qualities claimed correspondence
Figure/ground, margins of close on professional burden
ings & distendings of rational loves,
logical work loves, real infatuations
grown daring of interweaving forms
Whom I young firmament sea rose
behind where professional sea figures
Once heard beyond terms of your life
in work. Unlikely brother, grandmother,
silly counterpart projecting one-third
or second worked upon walls
One-in-ten psychologies/figures apprehend
contaminant—1st articulations
of here-too feeling & strove
predilection like this, like likeness
Becoming involved w/o lording over matter
in terrors before they even knew anything
Like oxen, like horses, now ‘book,’ divine old incorporated fancy
Bystanders will go away and say
(youths as yet, burdening sense):
Disorder against them, even in marriage.

192/193
So-so the death so
image-sad Thinker is the think
From what books inclination
adds no body Not humorous
(obvious gesture perhaps)
Defense “creating” of agreement
Some, then never any, do
UNTITLED
67/70
We the really infant of
Renew that perfection (more
work) & still one
decreased or increased work
Barely describable
in work moments
As everything else going discipline
not these not defeated
in a lonely absolutely b/c
Being everyday plain,
mind grates everything
